Kitchen Reveal!!!

Here is the before. When we moved in the walls were painted two shades of greenish blue and tan above the cabinets on one wall. The cabinet boxes were painted the same color as the walls and the doors were painted cream. The floor had a tan generic sheet vinyl floor.

After

Here it is after my husband made the chandelier longer.

We put a 25" apron sink on a 36" base cabinet. This was ok because the countertop holds the sink. We did have to cut the two original drawers and make them into two small drawers (they no longer open we just crazy glued them to the base cabinet)

Oh, oh, oh - I Love it! Our kitchen was blah and white and we went black on the cabinets too. The floor is still beige and I've been thinking checkboard, but was too afraid to try. Thanks for posting pictures - I'm sold. (Now ... where did you get your flooring?) (Pics of my kitchen to date for $100 so far ... thedirtyhalfdozen (dot) blogspot (dot) com.

Your kitchen looks awesome...what a difference. I love the new paint colors and flooring. I wanted a farmhouse sink so bad when we remodeled last year but they were SO expensive. I never thought to look at IKEA!! Too late now!!

Janet - your kitchen looks fantastic! What a difference newly painted cabinets are. I'm just about to post the "reveal" pics of my kitchen as well. And yes, our kitchens are very similar, although your is much bigger!! Congrats.

Janet, I love your kitchen! I just painted the cabinets in one of my bathrooms black and I think I might be leaning towards painting my kitchen cabinets black. Did you roll the paint on the cabinet frames and spray the doors? Or did you spray everything? I'm trying to figure out the logistics of how to do it all! I'm thinking of doing one bank of cabinets at a time so as not to tear up my kitchen completely. As someone who has lived through a kitchen remodel, do you think I should do it all at once or gradually?

Odd question I'm hoping you can help me with: What's the name/model, etc of your compressor and paint sprayer? I want to buy one for a bunch of furniture projects but I keep finding really expensives one.....I could justify $120 so hoping y ou can tell me! Thanks! :-)

wow I love the change from white to black--so refreshing when everyone seems to be painting cabinets white nowadays. Mones dark too- if u get a chance check it out on my blog. I love love the redo!http://housefinally.blogspot.com/2010/01/help-needed-with-kitchen-backsplash.html

Our kitchen is begging for remodel. My budget is not. My kitchen is in similar shape to what yours was. I can't wait to show your posts to my husband. For $1,000 I just might talk him into it. And I have always wanted diamond pattern floors. AND I love your sink.
